The Glorious Gold Dictatorship of Controlitia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Tyrant Grande with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, smutty television, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.339 billion Contrae are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sargobad. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Tyrantized economy, worth a remarkable 2,083 trillion Puffs of Air a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 201,556 Puffs of Air, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,321,974 per year while the poor average 12,033, a ratio of 109 to 1.

Garishly-decorated government buildings are being hailed as the height of 'religious nouveau', baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward, the government says that Possession is nine-tenths of the Lore, and wanting a better life for your child is prohibited by a clause in the criminal code. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Controlitia's national animal is the Corpse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Tyrantism.

Controlitia is ranked 28,009^th in the world and 169^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Black Market, with 9.48 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
